Going crazy!

So I'm pretty sure miss braylee is colic (or maybe reflux, the dr said to.hold out the 2 weeks for her appointment). So my question is, who has used gripe water, & does it help baby feel better? I feel absolutely awful that she cries all day and I can't make her feel better. Any particular brand you mamas think works best?

I only use Gripe water for hiccups, other than that it's useless. We thought DD was colicky, she did end up having reflux and is now on Zantac and is a completely different baby! She sometimes gets a sore belly still, I give her a half ounce of chamomile tea in the evening sometimes when she's fussy with gas. Helps to soothe her tummy and also helps her sleep :)

I couldn't get my daughter one day to stop and my mum came over took her soother dipped it in maple syrup and gave it back. She was fine the rest of the day. She went into this relaxed sucking and fell asleep for an hour and when she woke up again it was a whole new baby.

Why do you think colic? Is it at the same time each day? It could be the "witching hour" which isn't only an hour long. My Dd would just cry and cry from 5-8. I would just let her breastfeed, swaddle her up and rock her for those 3 hours. A lot of people mistake that for colic.
